Really should've screenshotted this one... at 5pm on a weekday, Crushridge Alliance had 17 people online. No, I didn't miss a digit, that's seventeen

I realised after I did a manual /who 1-90 to doublecheck it, that Crushridge of course used to be one of the most highly populated unofficial Italian realms - I guess they all migrated to Nemesis then! Never seen a figure that low before I think, certainly not in the daytime, crazy stuff._________________EU-Draenor:

Oh wow, that's definitely the record! Not the busiest time of day but even so, wow.

I had an 11 on that Crushridge Alliance earlier, checked their realm forum and apparently Horde is just as bad, both sides have about 40 online at peak times, ouch, can't be a whole lot of fun playing on that server Meanwhile my server has about 4k at peak times (on Horde, Alliance is more like 1k), what a contrast._________________EU-Draenor:

Right after finishing that one I went over to Gul'dan Horde and got 55 characters, so they're better off, but that also means horrible faction imbalance. I'm not the biggest fan of CRZ, but I have to say that now I have a little better understanding of why Blizzard felt they had to do it.

Tonight I had this bright idea, lol. Since we ganged up on Balgair in the whack a zero game I thought I'd take a wow trip to the UK. Well, on the second realm I remembered those funny things, time zones. 8 pm here, hhmmm, I guess 4 am is not the best time to census lmao. EU-Hakkar ended up with 7 horde and 3 alliance. DOH!

When you sign up a new starter edition account, change the country from United States to United Kingdom. Then you can either edit the config.wtf in notepad and change "enUS" to "enGB" or if you have hard drive space to spare you can install the EU client in a separate folder from your current WoW folder.

Ok, so I cheated a little, lol, having learned EU-Hakkar's population a bit. I waited until 5:30 am server time on a Monday morning to run census . 1 horde and 3 alliance. I feel kind of bad being half of the population
